A DVD contains a series of video files stored in a way that is not similar to that of a hard drive. To extract the video from a DVD of a home movie you made, use the Widows operating system’s built-in copy utility. The procedure is straightforward and does not require any expertise in how a DVD works or the need for any additional software. Extracting the video file from the DVD will not harm the DVD in any way. Writer Bio
